This great rec by @Alexandra Clark makes me want to rewatch that whole little series with Objectified and Urbanized and--and--gets me excited to check out Gary Hustwit's whacky, generative Brian Eno doc when it premieres on the Criterion Channel next month.

History

One of the best documentaries I’ve seen in a while. Design is everywhere and Helvetica is ubiquitous. Was writing down quotes from this in my journal throughout the whole thing. Also quite a beautiful and minimal visual experience. “Don’t confuse legibility with communication. Just because something’s legible doesn’t mean it communicates the right thing.”
